3-PC carts to support all schools in building (16 - 24- 30), SMART Board, In her room- 5 open stations that teachers from any school in the building can come in and use; Did run SMART Board PD in the past and it was her best attended session. Not sure of continued usage across classrooms.
Frustration on lack of support for troubleshootong and maintenance of equipment building-wide (Relies on assistance from Mr. Meenan to offer troubleshooting assistance). Only the twenty stations in library for student access in entire building.
Same teachers requesting carts all-the time; would like to see more on creative uses of technology, better support and organized plan for acquisition.
Open invite to use center if we need a space for PD. Easier to schedule use during afterschool. Areas of Concern (if any):
